14" Ronals

Emjay · 07-09-08, 06:28 PM

Right, for sale a set of 14" Ronals. Refurbed and powder coated. A couple have deep marks which wouldn't polish out. 4 good ones are shod with Toyo Proxes 195 x 55, brand new this week. Wheels balanced, new valves all ready to go. One wheel has no tyre as it didn't refurb too well so was going to get it sorted.

I will be listing on e-bay at but it now £320 (this is the cost to me). If anyone here wants first refusal then they are yours for £300. Can deliver to 50 mile or so radius of Manchester if required.

The moral of the story....check check and bloody re-check. These are 4x108PCD and my coupe is a 4x100!! Thought about new hubs etc to make them fit but have decided it's easier to sell and get something that will fit first time!

If you want any center caps then there are some on ebay which may fit

if your car is 4 x 100? does that mean u can fit VW wheels? like from a corrado or a golf?

why don't you just get some 4x100 Ronals (same design) and keep the tyres???

PS we've all done the 4x108 thing. I bought some thinking they'd fit.

Bugger.

yea... Good idea.

swap the tiers over to some 4x100. & then sell the 108 wheels to someone else.

Yes, best idea.

Emjay · 08-09-08, 09:13 AM

They're on the bay now so I will see how they go. Thought they may sell easier if someone is looking for a complete set. But removing the tyres remains an option for sure.

Anyway I was casting about oveer the weekend and thought these might look quite nice to complement the gobi as an alternative to Ronals

I quite like the deep dish look and the black 4 spokes.

I'm confused here. If you measure the centres and they're 108mm. (like the cookies on mine) then why do you have problems and have to go with 100mm ?

Emjay · 08-09-08, 10:46 AM

because my Audi has 4x100PCD and the wheels are 4x108PCD. What this means is that the stud fittings on my wheel hub are fixed on a 100mm diameter circle.

ie 4x100 equals 4studs on100mm diameter.

The wheels I have are for a 4x108PCD hub. Same number of studs (4) but greater diameter (108mm). Hence the holes on the wheels are are slightly wider apart. Great for later coupes but not for mine.

This website explains it nicely

I see. That explains the confusion as mine are 108mm. Why don't they just keep things standard and simple. Or is that too complicated lol

Emjay · 08-09-08, 02:13 PM

I like simple.

I went to all this hassle, thought I had got the right PCD and still got it wrong!!
